A New Addiction

My friend Allison and I have a bit of an addiction here in Russia. Actually we have a lot of addictions. These include but are not limited to eating soroks, making awkward noises, acting like old men commenting from a balcony, and doing tattoos. This past is about that last addiction I mentioned. Allison is a freaking good artist. It scares me sometimes how good she is. One day she drew WallE on my hand and since then we've enjoyed giving/getting tattoos. And we've been smart enough to document all of them! However, I don't have pictures of all of them because Allison has many of the pictures. But you can see as many as I have access to right now...

This was one of the first that I got. Mufasa saying, "You have forgotten who you are" but half of the word "forgotten" got cut off.

Another early one. Inspired by Lady and the Tramp

Sometimes other people want in on the action too. This was an owl for Lauren.

This is what you get when you don't know what you want...an Allison on your foot for Kristen.

Sometimes we would keep it pretty simple

Just a basic robot. Right?

Wrong! Don't worry. We did this on a Saturday and it all washed off before church

A little more of a close-up of the random but awesome tattoo sleeve

We really like to personify animals

It's a Modest Mouse. Get it? (I know Steph, you're probably the only one this time)

This one's hot off the press today. Lauren was sick so Allison drew her (on the far left) on one hand and then Allison and I being sad on the other hand. Allison has a hat that's an owl head, in case you were wondering.

This one's still one of my favorites. Good ol' Winnie the Pooh!

I have to say thanks to Allison for always finding new ways to entertain me and being willing to share her skills with everyone. I hope she's okay with me posting all of this since I didn't ask or anything. And if you're interested in seeing more of her coolness, wander over to her blog which I have a link to over on the right side there.
